Parkour Elements - Railings & FlowTime: 3.00pm - 4.30pm

What to expect

In this workshop, we will be focusing our training on one of the most common obstacles found in Parkour - railings. We will cover elements such as bails and breaking falls, technique breakdown, as well as flow and fluidity, which will help us build confidence and creativity in working with rails. In a nutshell, we will aim to increase our movement vocabulary specific to railings by addressing attributes like fear and creative use of our bodies.

In the event of bad weather, we will change our workshop focus to Floor-work and Flow. We will work on the same elements and attributes above, seeking to increase our movement vocabulary specific to the floor.

What to expect

This workshop aims to provide an introduction to the generalist movement approach and principles, as well as the foundation to begin a safe and holistic Parkour training journey. You can expect some locomotion and floor-work, movement games, as well as a methodological approach to basic Parkour movements such as vaulting, precision jumping and climbing.

In the event of bad weather, we will continue training in a sheltered area with more movement games and a stronger emphasis on grounded Parkour movements.

Who can come

Suitable for beginners, aged 14 and above, in good health and looking to expose themselves to Movement and Parkour. Experienced Parkour practitioners can still benefit as Coach Fagan will be sharing the concept of the beginner's mindset and how the generalist movement approach can help us go further in any specialized movement discipline.
